Duh! <Slaps head>

In my mind's eye, I just couldn't see that inlet....

Okay, I don't think it would be hard to weld back together, I'd TIG weld it 
just because that's really controllable in thin section metal. I think it will 
be hard to cut apart, however, because your cut will have to be symmetrical so 
that the parts will fit well after you rotate them. I doubt if you'd have any 
luck trying to just split it at the seam; you'll probably have to cut it just 
above the seam.

I wouldn't worry about the welding as long as the tank is really dry, but you 
have to remember to get it really dry before you CUT it, too.
